All we are saying is: Give Peeps A Chance.

Almost as soon as the pixels faded, I got an email from Mike Lasche featuring a chicken tractor he has designed and built.

This particular version features an asphalt shingle roof with eaves drip, 2x2 construction for light weight, all screw fasteners on the framing, pressure treated wood for durability, wheelbarrow tires, a hardened steel axle, a four-space chicken coop, double draw bolts on all doors, a perch so that chickens can easily enter the coop, ergonomic design so that one person can easily move it, low-profile design so as not to be too conspicuous, and it is small enough to be moved in the back of a pickup truck.
